African_Americans_Waiting_to_Vote.jpgemma63


I think...
I see...
I wonder...
That the people in the picture are excited
to vote because since they are colored
it might be their first time voting.
People in a line waiting to vote.
What they are thinking about.
That these people are anxoius to vote, and
have a say in the world.
A lot of people looking a head trying to see the front of the line.
Who these people are going to vote for.
That they are finally going to be heard for what they want.
The people look a little worried.
When this picture was taken.
That this was when slavery had just ended a while ago.
That the building is a little small.
Who was running for what when this picture wast aken.
That they had to wait a long time to vote.
That the are dressed very nicely.
If these people had to take a test to be able to vote.
It might be November, beacuse thats when you mostley vote.
There is men and woman voting.
Where the whites went to vote.











When Dorothy tried to vote the doors to the colored dorrs were locked but the whites door was open.
They are showing that they only think that it is right for withes to be able to vote but not the colored. They aren't treating everybody the same and giving everybody the same freedoms.

When she went back to vote again the clerks again ignored her, before she left she gave the door a kick. The clerk then wrote down her license plate on her car. The next day at Dorothy's husbands work his boss pulled him over and threatened to fire him because of Dorothy's actions at the registry.
They show descrimination because they are taking out Dorothy's actions on her husband, Hector. Hector gettiong fired would make them not be able to pay their bills for their car and house and other expensives.

The whites had a better office then the colord did. The whites was very nice and clean and well kept. On the other side of the building the colored office had cigaretes all over the floor, the curtains weren't well kept and it was very dirty.
They must only clean the whites or they clean it more often because they think that they are better then the colored and they should be treated better, which rthey are.

They colored had to go through a series of stages to vote. They first of all had to get to the door when it was unlocked, pay to register, and take a test. The fee was $5, which was a lot of money to pay back then, and colored people definatley didn't have that kind of money to "waste." The test consisted of on question. One really really hard question that most colored people didnt have the knowledge to know. It was mostly sure that they wouldn't pass this test so the registration office didn't really worry the colored people would be able to vote.
The whites didn't have to do anything like that. They wanted to make sure that the white were able to vote but not the blacks so they didn't go trough any tourture like it.

The colored had voting much worse for them. For instance,when Dorothy went to register to vote the colored people`s door was locked, but the white people`s door was unlocked. The clerks kept ignoring dorothy because they did not want her to vote just because she was colored.
